国内规模最大碳化硅半导体基地投产

Group 1 - Changfei Advanced Semiconductor (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. has officially launched the first batch of silicon carbide wafers at its Wuhan base, which is the largest silicon carbide semiconductor base in China, contributing 30% of the domestic silicon carbide wafer production capacity [1] - Silicon carbide is a semiconductor material that can operate stably under high voltage and high temperature, making it increasingly popular in the electric vehicle industry as charging voltages and vehicle range continue to increase [1] - The Wuhan base is expected to produce 360,000 six-inch silicon carbide wafers annually, supplying the "heart" for 1.44 million electric vehicles each year, potentially breaking international monopolies and filling the gap in high-end silicon carbide device manufacturing in Hubei Province [1] Group 2 - The base has already established extensive collaborations with leading global automotive companies, with a silicon carbide chip set to undergo vehicle testing next month, and nearly 10 models currently in validation, with mass production and delivery expected in the coming months [2] - As the first hundred-billion-level semiconductor project in Hubei Donghu Science City, the Changfei Advanced Wuhan base began construction in September 2023 and achieved production readiness in just 18 months, attracting over 20 supporting enterprises across the entire third-generation semiconductor supply chain [2] - Wuhan has identified compound semiconductors as one of its six major future industry directions, planning to introduce and cultivate 100 upstream and downstream enterprises within three years, aiming to transform Wuhan Optics Valley into a "world lighthouse" in the field of compound semiconductors [2]
